Stages from Aor to Ppr

- Start date
EXPRESS ENTRY APPLICATION LIFE CYCLE:
A basic summary (P.S. Timelines and order may vary based on country and stream):
1. eAOR - electronic Acknowledgement of Receipt - a templated letter saying that your application is submitted with the application number mentioned (applicants may use this to apply for a BOW Permit, if applicable);
2. Meds Passed - Medicals Pass and file is initially opened to check for R10 satisfaction at the CIO (Central Intake Office);
3. BG IP(1) - Background Check in Progress for the first time - usually happens on the same day your Meds Pass. At this stage they check for all documents and that whether the applicant is not missing any documents. They are not scrutinized at this stage, except for Police Clearance certificate (dates, and period is covered based on your answers from the Personal and Travel History); Additional docs (like Schedule A, Travel History, Family Info, Proof of something, etc.) may be requested at this stage.
4. *Next Step is to conduct a Background Check - NBG (not all applicants see this) - This is usually only when an applicant submits an RCMP report and thus the security check is done later.
5. BG NA - Not Applicable - usually happens between 1-2 months from eAOR. This is where applicants' first phase of A11.1 Eligibility and documents are checked by the CIO. At this stage the agent checks if the points match, are above the round's ITA points, eligibility under the stream is met, points are claimed genuinely and if there are no irregularities in the docs or work exp, NOC, etc. After this the application is sent to the Local Visa Office (LVO) for finalization and second checks.
6. BG IP(2) - Background Check in Progress for the second time - This is the stage wherein the LVO opens the file to check your entire application and confirm the notes and insights from the CIO agent. Eg. proof of funds, letter of employment, if any; This usually happens after all the security, criminality and eligibility is all okay. and at around the 4 months mark from the eAOR.
7. PPR - Passport Request email - Ready for Visa/Demande Finalé - This is the email which every applicant stresses and waits for, it is on this forum also known as The Golden Email. This means the officer is satisfied and has approved your application also has requested your passport (if needed) or photocopy of passport (if from visa-exempt country) along with 2 photos and annex A form, to stamp the Immigrant Visa and issue the CoPR - Confirmation of Permanent Residency (a letter serving proof that you are a PR). It is this letter used for "landing" at the border and in officially becoming a Permanent Resident. This letter is later also used for citizenship application (if applicable).
Again, this is a small summary and an estimated timeline based on my personal experience and it may vary throughout. But the stages are more or less structured and happen in an Express Entry Application Life Cycle. Timings and order may differ.
Note: I was an FSW-Inland applicant and CEC has a similar timeline and structure, but it could be quicker too!
Good luck!

Thanks for this information. I am also a FSW Inland applicant. My AOR is 20 May 2017. I passed medical. Review of additional documents is "We do not need additional documents". Background check is "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check". Does this mean I can stop worrying about any missing PCC rejection?

Good luck!
Can I ask, I'm at IP2 stage and officer requested employment history(submitted), and now requested job offer new contract and duties detail and explanation why they hired me(will submit next week).
Now, is this all comes to under eligibility section? And also while this happens do they do security check at the same time or how long will that take?
FSWO
20th Nov
London visa office.
Like @zam7 mentioned in IP2 stage it is the LVO officer who checks the entire application before final decision is made. They might ask for supplementary documents to understand some points better.
In my case, my spouse was asked for PCC in IP1 and they decided PCC show no inadmissible activities. Later LVO asked for more details about the incident mentioned in PCC and more proof of common-law relationship. Now our status has moved to Final Decision stage and we are waiting for email.
I would not worry too much... From my perspective all the stages before IP2 have very standard procedures and it is not until IP2 someone from LVO starts to get a bit more "personal" about the application. IP2 usually takes "a few weeks" according to the IRCC agent I called yesterday, obviously it depends on how fast you submit the documents they required.
Hope it helps and good luck!
Thanks for your detailed reply.
I've submitted all the requested doc. but review of additional documents says: we need more documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details. It's been like this since they request for more doc.
What does that mean? And how long does it take to change status?
